The Birmingham Post carries a glowing review of the Great British Eatery on Francis Street, part of Broadway Plaza - the development on the site of old Children's Hospital near Five Ways.

The chips here are heaven sent. If angels eat battered fish, they must swoop down to Francis Road. Every piece of fish is cooked to order and it shows in the crispness. No grease, no clag, just lightness and flavour. Fed up with hours-old, dried out fish? It doesn’t have to be that way.

Solid local beers from Holdens, in Dudley and Freedom lagers from Staffordshire are sold by the bottle (£2.50) and pear and apple ciders from Somerset. Posh pots of ice cream, too, without additive muck.
